Fishing delays in Canada worsen EU coldwater shrimp shortage

June 13, 2014 Canada

Delays in the Canadian inshore coldwater shrimp fishing season are worsening the already tight market for cooked and peeled shrimp in the EU, with one UK supplier warning the sector is a “couple of weeks away” from de-listings. Coldwater shrimp shortages were predicted for 2014 at the International Coldwater Prawn Forum in November 2013. Shrimp stocks are migrating, becoming hard to find or moving out of availability regions, and increasing cod stocks are hitting shrimp fisheries too. Read more here 13:10

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
